Dropped Taekwondo after 15 months — honest about why
I trained Taekwondo for 15 months and then stopped. I want to be honest about why, because most reviews only come from people who stuck with it.
adjusting to the point-scoring system was a bigger issue for me than I anticipated. My gym also had a culture problem — a few people had developed an ego around their pattern memorisation knowledge that made sessions uncomfortable. The sport itself isn't the issue. The dollyo-chagi roundhouse is genuinely interesting and the unique acrobatic kick repertoire is real. I'm open to going back to a different gym. The sport deserves a better environment than I found.
